My 27th Birthday!

I was officially old when I turned 25, but now that I’m 27 I think I’ve finally accepted it haha. Only took me two years.

First of all, about two weeks before my birthday, Nate had to REMIND ME that it was approaching. Never in my life have I had to been reminded about my birthday, so that right there was a strange way to start off 27. Once he reminded me, I couldn’t stop asking him what he was getting me. JK, I actually mentioned that I’d much prefer an experience over a thing, if he were to do anything at all (because he could have simply surprised me with a pint (or 2) of Ben + Jerry’s ice cream and that would have made me pretty happy.)

ANYWAYS, a few days before, Nate told me he had a legit surprise for me. The more I asked questions, the more he stayed quiet. He’s good at keeping surprises. On THE DAY (June 1 btw), all he told me was that I needed to drive into Boston by 5:30 and wear something “nice but not fancy”. I obliged and met him in the Commons after he got out of work (late, so I had time to go to my favorite coffee shop, Thinking Cup.)

So, what was his surprise?

A nice, quiet dinner at Durgin Park near Quincy Market, and seeing the BLUE MAN GROUP in real life! What! BMG is something I’ve always wanted to see, but haven’t had a chance to go. Nate knew I wanted to do something together rather than receive something, and this was the perfect option. The show was colorful, funny, and loud. The theater is pretty small, so everyone had a great view (we happened to be up in the balcony). I truly expected more mess, paint and throwing of things, but even so it was still a really fun show to witness!

A week into year 28 and it’s already pretty good. 😉
